Tomorrow...

...the internet hookup guy shows up. As astute readers have noticed, the photo department has to some extent been running the show lately. And once the neighbors with the good internet signal moved out, we've been unable to get pictures uploaded, which has put a damper in our publishing schedule. But as of tomorrow (knock on wood) we'll be up and running and firing on all cylinders and such.

Guatemala? Rio de Janeiro? Huh?

This journal once chronicled the experience of a low-level American diplomat living in Guatemala. Then he went to Latvia, and Afghanistan, and then back "home" to Washington, DC for a bit. He is now serving in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

In Afghanistan, the photographic opportunities were often limited to what we could sneak with a point-and-shoot camera out the bulletproof window of a speeding SUV. But sometimes we got out and about. A few favorites from that tour:

We've also vacationed aggressively in each region we've been posted in, and taken some epic home leave trips, usually leading to better photos than those where we were posted. Those photos are included in the blog, but somehow holiday snaps seem beneath this sidebar.
